How would I check if these are aftermarket or original Porsche wheels? I would suspect the original 18" wheels that came on the car would be lighter as I believe the 2003 model 18" wheel were light weight wheels that Porsche started to offer in 2003.

Most Porsche wheels will get scratched or damaged if you lay then face down. Handle with care, always face up to preserve the finish.
An OEM wheel normally has the width and offset marked at the valve stem, aftermarket are marked on the inner hub. I think mine were marked "Mille Miglia Made in Italy" on the inner hub as well. There is still a market for those if you want to sell them. It's a classic 964 look.
